According to this bug report, it's caused by the nsupdate capability of
dhcpd :
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=712503
It probably means that even though dhcpd is running in DHCPv4 mode, it
will perform DDNS (dynamic updates of DNS zones) with nsupdate either on
IPv4 or IPv6 protocol. So this is why you see dhcpd listening in IPv6.
My personal opinion is that's not really a bug : if the DHCP server has
an IPv6 connectivity with the DNS server, why not use IPv6 regardless of
the type of addresses that are being updated ?
